Ever since I stumbled upon the course Global Communication and Management, it became my only choice. I chose this because I’m very interested in all the aspects of the course — from looking at things from a global perspective, having better communication skills, and learning more about management. Besides this, I also want to engage myself more in Chinese culture.

I chose the program GCM because I think this program suits me the most, where communication, business, finance, and Chinese culture are taught by international educators, alongside international students.
Miran Ka (Japan)
One of the reasons why I chose the GCM program, is because out of all the universities I applied to, Zhejiang University (ZJU) best fits my future aspirations of becoming a globally competent person. Also, ZJU is one of the best universities in China, which has outstanding professors and facilities. Moreover, simply studying in China, a center of technology and business, will build a strong foundation and develop essential skills to thrive in a global setting.

International Campus of Zhejiang University (ZJU), where the program is located, is a model for international cooperation and integration of Eastern and Western styles of education. Students of the program will graduate with bilingual proficiency in Chinese and English, and I believe that ZJU can lead me to reach my own goals as a good businessman in the future.
Alicia Mirindra Rajomarison (Madagascar)
When I read about this program, I thought the 4 different modules were very interesting. And when I got enrolled, I realized it was way beyond my expectations. The classes are very interesting, and the teachers and classmates are all very nice and supportive. We have many opportunities to participate in various events and attend lectures with speakers from different countries and institutions... Plus the International Campus of ZJU seems like a really good environment to study and live in, I can’t wait to get there!
